"I've been toying with the idea of attending OryCon 28 in Portland. Cory Doctorow will be Guest of Honor at the convention. I'd love to introduce him to OED. Creative sparks could fly. Have they already met?"

Have you ever met Cory Doctorow, Jon?

"I'll have to make up my mind about attending soon because the con starts on the 17th of this month. If I don't make it to Portland, maybe OED should consider attending."

I didn't attend the con.

"Cory Doctorow will also be speaking at Portland State University on November 16 at five o'clock in the evening. The topic of his lecture is 'What's the Point of Copyright?' The lecture is free and open to the public."

I regret missing that lecture.
